A Leap of Faith Garment

Last night I gave a demonstration for the Eastside Evening Group of the Tucson ASG Chapter. It was fun. With her blessings, I used Sally's notes on how to create a simple bias skirt. I held a lottery to see who in the crowd I'd make it for, then used her dimensions to cut it to her size. It went together in a flash, with some serger magic. I showed the bias top made from just two squares of fabric, as shown in Threads Magazine a couple of years ago. That was well received also. I'm glad I practiced making the garments. They are "leaps of faith" garments--they are not intuitively constructed. You have to trust the designer and follow each step. At any rate, it was a fun evening. I was invited to model my bias outfit in the upcoming style show. It's not fancy, but is fun. I find that I'm making a lot of friends by volunteering to do things. One of these days I'll get my camera out again and post a photo of me in the outfit.
